Staff presented an overview of the proposed subdivision indicating there were few outstanding issues associated with the request. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated Tall Timber Drive should be constructed to a minor residential street standard. Staff also stated a maximum street grade of 16 percent would be allowed. Staff noted a 20-foot radial dedication of right of way was required ai the intersection of Tall Timber Boulevard and Tall Timber Drive. Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the issues raised at the November 16, 2006, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised preliminary plat indicates the construction of Tall Timber Drive as a minor residential street standard with a 45-foot right of way and no sidewalk. The developer has indicated they can not provide a 20-foot radial dedication at the intersection of Tall Timber Boulevard and Tall Timber Drive since the lots at the intersection are not under the developer's ownership. A 60-foot access has been provided extending from Tall Timber Boulevard which will allow addition paving for maneuvering. Staff is supportive of the request. The applicant is proposing a replat of Lot 6R Doyne Subdivision into six (6) single-family lots with one variance request. The lots are indicated with an average lot size of 10,090 square feet and a minimum 3 FILE NO.: S-1232-B (Cont. lot size of 8,398 square feet. The variance request is to allow proposed Lot 1 to be developed with a reduced lot depth of 98.07 feet. The ordinance typically requires a minimum lot depth of 100-feet. Based on the previously platted lot and the location of the previously platted access easement, the 100-foot lot depth cannot be achieved. Staff supports this variance request. The lot depth is 1.93 feet shy of the typical minimum requirement. Staff does not feel this will adversely impact the development of the lot or the area.
